Carla Hall - Please Underestimate Me!

Les Dames d'Escoffier DC Regional Chapter

Olney Theatre Center

Dame Carla Hall is debuting her solo show and we can't wait to see it! Les Dames d'Escoffier, Washington DC Regional Chapter has reserved a block of seats for two performances so we can show her our support as a group. Please Underestimate Me! World Premiere Solo ShowFriday, June 26 at 7:30 pm and Thursday, July 9 at 7:30 pmOlney Theatre Center Award-winning chef, best-selling author, and beloved TV personality, Carla Hall, is at the top of her game. But getting there was no picnic. In this theatrical one-woman show, Carla Hall invites you to “strap in” for a wild, hilarious, and emotional ride as she reveals how she learned to embrace her own authenticity, “work her quirk” and finally step into her power. From her Tennessee roots as an awkward theater camp kid, to Howard University, to a stint on the runways of Paris, to her irreverent takes on the confusing expectations of Black excellence, crushing sexism, and the many attempts to erase her uniqueness, Carla has had to battle every step of the way to find her true voice -- and wait till you hear it. In this insightful and inspiring World Premiere, Carla reveals the secret ingredients to her greatest creation: herself. This intimate exchange will leave audiences laughing, thinking, feeling and… maybe even discovering a little of their own power in simply being themselves. Production by Carla Hall, Lori Kaye &amp; Leslie Thomas.
